committed

We told everyone we were going to have a potluck after church next Sunday, sort of a goodbye to Renee and her family. Now that everyone knows, there's no backing out. Guess that means I've got to clean the house good - no slapdash this week. I found a big ham in the freezer when I was cleaning it out this week, so I think I'll bake that up and get a bunch of buns for ham sandwiches, so at least a good portion of the food will be covered right there.

Hubby, Angel #4 and I went downtown for the street fair this afternoon. The third Sunday of each month, they close down about 5 blocks of one of the main streets downtown and people set up booths, provide live entertainment and things like that. It's the road that goes right along the ocean, so it's a pleasant little stroll. Though it's mainly tourists, we also run into people we know, so it's kind of fun. I'm not into any of the stuff that's for sale though - I refer to it as all kinds of things that nobody really needs - so it never costs us any money. Except for the $2 sno-cone the Angel got. Down here, sno-cones are called shave ice and they look like giant snowballs in a cup. The kind Angel got was called monkey business, which is half banana and half root beer. Sounds gross but she likes it. Hubby did his part to make sure it was eaten before it melted too. He's so helpful with things like that.

They call them shave ice here too. They're different from snow cones because the ice is much finer. I love them. I always get the blue ones. Had one just a few weeks ago at the annual arts & crafts fair downtown. Yum!
